Just as Mrs. Ou was about to say that she would go in and check on her daughter, she saw Li Dahui holding a bowl, scooping out rice, and then putting some vegetables in the bowl.
"Dad, Mom, you eat first, I'll take it in for Manqing."
The elderly couple looked at each other in dismay. Their daughter now needed to be waited on while eating.
Li Dahui entered the room, where Ou Manqing was already awake, sitting up and rubbing her lower back and inner thighs.
When she saw Li Dahui come in, she gave him a soft glare, the culprit.
Li Dahui smiled, sat on the edge of the bed, and reached out to massage her. He was stronger, so it felt more comfortable to massage her.
After enjoying the massage for a while, Ou Manqing felt much better.
Li Dahui felt uncomfortable; the smell in the room hadn't dissipated yet, and he found it quite ambiguous.
But he knew that if he did anything else, Ou Manqing would definitely get angry, so he held back.
Seeing that she was feeling better, I handed her the bowl and let her eat.
Ou Manqing hadn't eaten in bed before, but she was so hungry that she grabbed the food and ate it right away.
They didn't care where they ate.
Li Dahui took this opportunity to open the window, ventilate the room, and let the smell dissipate.
Ou Manqing had been in the room for a long time and didn't smell anything, but he wasn't surprised to see him open the window; after all, you need to let some fresh air out after getting up.
While eating, she commented, "These ribs are quite delicious, but I think they would be better made sweet and sour. You should try a different kind next time."
Li Dahui readily agreed: "Okay, next time I'll make sweet and sour. Anything else?"
"The chicken is delicious, add some potatoes next time."
"good."
"Did you wash my dress from yesterday? Make sure to keep it safe, it's our wedding dress."
"They're washed and hung up to dry."
"..."
Mrs. Ou originally wanted to go see her daughter, but instead she heard her daughter's matter-of-fact tone.
Think about it, today's breakfast and lunch were all made by Li Dahui. He also chopped firewood and cleaned the house.
They even washed all the clothes.
Her daughter slept until noon, ate her meal right in bed, and complained that the food he cooked wasn't good enough, asking what she wanted to eat next time.
Mrs. Ou couldn't stand it anymore and left.
When she returned to the dining room, she saw her husband eating. Upon seeing her, he said, "You should try the ribs your son-in-law made; they're delicious."
Mrs. Ou rolled her eyes and said sarcastically, "It's so delicious, your daughter even said she wanted your son-in-law to make sweet and sour sauce next time."
Mr. Ou laughed and said, "I also think the sweet and sour version tastes better. My daughter's taste is just like mine."
"Don't you think your daughter is going too far? It's one thing for her not to get up and help, but she still makes demands when she's cooking for you."
Mr. Ou shook his head: "Weren't you worried that your son-in-law would bully your daughter? I think he's completely under your daughter's thumb, so you don't need to worry."
Besides, isn't that how our daughter lives at home too? She's known how to order food since she was little, saying what she wants to eat and what she doesn't want to eat.
I think things are fine now; someone is taking care of her for us.
It's said that the squeaky wheel gets the grease, but some babies cry and still don't get any grease, so they stop crying.
Similarly, the fact that Ou Manqing dared to order food so recklessly shows that Li Dahui really treats her very well and is very obedient to her. What more could her parents possibly want?
Originally, Mr. Ou thought Li Dahui was not good enough for his daughter, but after observing him for the past few days, he now thinks Li Dahui is the best son-in-law.
Putting aside his background, he is capable, knows how to make money, has principles in his dealings with people, and is so good to Manqing.
Such a son-in-law is hard to find even with a lantern.
After hearing her husband's words, Mrs. Ou realized that she was worrying unnecessarily. She should be happy that her son-in-law treated her daughter well.
So she sat down to eat with peace of mind, and to her surprise, the food Li Dahui cooked was quite delicious.
Even her daughter is complaining and making demands.
Fortunately, Ou Manqing didn't eat dinner in bed. After lunch, Li Dahui went to wash the dishes, and she changed her clothes and got up.
In the late afternoon, Mr. and Mrs. Ou went out for a stroll. Mr. Ou's favorite thing to do now was to play chess with Lin Aiguo.
Mother Ou would then go and chat with Grandma Lin and Aunt Lin.
When Ou Manqing woke up, he found that his parents were not at home, and only he and his wife were there.
Li Dahui helped Ou Manqing calculate the expenses. The wedding didn't cost much, as most of the meat and vegetables were hunted by Li Dahui.
Including the money given as gifts by others, we're almost even.
The house cost about 1,000 yuan to build, and the couple now has a total of over 1,600 yuan in assets.
Of course, if you include bicycles and radios, the number would be even greater.
In short, their little family is well-off and even has some savings.
They both work in the workshop now, and as long as the workshop doesn't go out of business, they will have an income.
Of course, Ou Manqing didn't think the workshop would be badly run; Lin Yu was incredibly clever.
Her father is the factory manager of a garment factory, and they all have high hopes for this workshop.
Meanwhile, Lin Yu is also planning the next step for the workshop.
Lin Aiguo had already reported the matter of the workshop and farm tools, and in theory, it wouldn't be far to send them to the commune, but there was no response from above.
Therefore, he felt very disappointed.
Lin Yu had anticipated this; their commune's secretary, Wu Shengli, was rather mediocre and lacked ambition.
Working under him, as long as you don't make mistakes, you don't need to be very innovative.
Therefore, he was aware of the Lotus Commune's recent new attempts, but he simply didn't care.
Lin Aiguo submitted the report, and Lin Yu didn't expect him to offer any support, even if it was just to let him know.
She still has a backup plan.
While Lin Aiguo and Ou's father were playing chess, Lin Yu went to the county post office.
"Do you have any letters from Lin Wenwen?"
"Hey, perfect timing, a letter just arrived here. It's from Lin Wenwen of the Lotus Brigade, right?"
"Yes, yes."
Lin Yu received the letter and saw that the address on it was from the publishing house, so she knew that the matter was settled.
The article that Da Niu wrote was the result of her reading many newspapers, learning the rules of writing and wording, and adding a touch of her own personal style.
Lin Yu had no doubt that it could be reported.
It's just a matter of how long it takes.
I didn't expect the newspaper to be so efficient; they replied so quickly.
Lin Yu received the letter but did not go home immediately.
Now that we're in the city, we should at least try to reconnect with Dingxiang.
When they arrived at the factory's residential compound, it was lunchtime. Lin Yu brought a bag of steamed egg cakes, which made Niu Niu very hungry.
Dingxiang warmly welcomed Lin Yu and even invited her to eat at her home.
After finishing her meal, Lin Yu went home to tell Da Niu the great news and make her happy.
Da Niu was indeed very happy. She opened the envelope herself, and inside, besides the editor's reply, was the payment for her manuscript!
Five yuan in total, not much, but it was the first money she earned through her writing!
